Biografie

In 1976 opgerichte band uit Engeland die in 1979 en 1982 twee hitjes scoort met 'Making Plans For Nigel' en 'Senses Working Overtime'. In 1997 covert Robbie Williams 'Making Plans For Nigel'. Een sneer naar ex-Take That manager Nigel Martin Smith. Andy Partridge, Colin Moulding en Terry Chambers richten in 1976 een band op, genaamd Star Park. Ze veranderen hun naam al weer snel in Helium Kidz. Keyboardspeler Barry Andrews maakt de band compleet. Nadat de band door platenmaatschappij CBS Records is afgewezen, besluiten ze zichzelf XTC te noemen. Een contract met Virgin volgt.
